As the heart of the home, your kitchen serves many purposes.
It’s where you gather to create delicious meals, share stories, and spend quality time with your loved ones.
Whilst it can be chaotic at times, it’s important to create an environment that promotes calmness and relaxation for when you want to unwind.
We’re sharing our top tips to bring some calm into your kitchen:
Choose a calming colour palette
Select a colour scheme for your kitchen that evokes tranquillity and serenity.
Consider shades of blue, green, or grey, which are known for their calming properties.
You can also incorporate neutral tones like cashmere or porcelain to create a peaceful and inviting space.
At Truman Kitchens, we have an extensive range of colours and work closely with a leading manufacturer, so we can find the perfect tone for you.
Incorporate natural elements
Bringing nature into your kitchen can positively affect your mood and well-being.
Plants can bring a pop of colour and some depth to your kitchen, whilst creating a sense of calm and connection with the outdoors.
You can also incorporate natural materials like oak, stone, or porcelain into your kitchen design to create a more grounded, earthy atmosphere.
Use soft lighting
Harsh, bright lighting can contribute to stress and tension.
So, think about replacing bright overhead lights with softer, dimmable options to create a soothing ambience.
Consider using under-cabinet lighting to illuminate your countertops and create a warm, inviting glow.
Bring in as much natural light as possible with big windows or, if your space allows, add some skylights.
Create a relaxation nook
When designing your kitchen, it’s important to think about how you will use it.
If you want to be able to spend time alone and unwind in your kitchen, think about incorporating a relaxation nook.
This can be a small area with a simple comfortable chair and side table, where you can sit and read (or enjoy a glass of wine)!
